Is Bio Ethanol Fireplace Just As Important As Everyone Says

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any space without the expense of structure work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire that is available.

As long as you use bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically formulated for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines your fireplace will be extremely safe to use.

Ease of installation

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners looking to transform their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They don't require a flue and they don't release dangerous smoke and you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn't matter if you choose a full fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from PS569 - or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and requires no specialist help. All you have to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.

If you choose an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted, most are supplied with the fittings that allow them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV or placed in the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions however it will not take more than one hour for a professional to do so.

You can also choose of manual or automated bioethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. A manual burner operates in the same way as an old-fashioned tabletop fireplace, but you'll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

It's important to remember when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great option for people who want to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the budget or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. They're an excellent option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they don't produce soot or ash, there's no problems with maintenance also.

Designs and styles

There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace insert look, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. Whatever the design they all offer the same benefits: real flame ambience without fumes or harmful gases.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is lit with a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the flames are established and the fire is ablaze, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

Some ethanol fireplaces even come with adjustable heat settings. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.

A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash that are dangerous to people who suffer from respiratory issues.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install inside your home. While the exact installation time depends on the model you select, most are installed in a short time. You can also choose an open-air fireplace which you can take with you when you decide to relocate, making it a great choice to use as a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a key factor for many consumers and is something to consider when shopping for a new fireplace.

No flue

The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need a flue in order to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or a blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace does not produce many particles that can harm the air, which is a great thing for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there isn't any smoke that is produced by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose heat up the chimney, which means it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the fire without having to worry about it burning which could be hazardous.

If you choose to install a freestanding bioethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs you can choose from. You can choose an elegant and contemporary look by installing it on the wall or opt for a recessed version that will blend in with the design of your room.

A manual or automatic burner is a second thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.

When you're done using your bio ethanol fireplace, it is important to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start all over again.

Most manufacturers recommend that you wait at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have enough time to safely remove the flames, and make sure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. Additionally, it is recommended to store any remaining ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from happening.

Maintenance ease

The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be adjusted using an adjustable slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns it produces tiny amounts of soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and ensuring it is not too far from any ethonal fire-prone objects or equipment.

Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can put them almost anywhere, without having to worry about building regulations or chimneys. This gives you a lot of flexibility when designing your home and where you want to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can direct the flame and heat into the desired area of your home. You can even mount an electronic remote control on certain designs to take full control from the comfortable sofa.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that permit you to connect them to a flat or sloping ceiling. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you want it, and be in a position to turn the flame off or on and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

If you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Also, don't attempt to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature and always be careful when handling the burner since it is very hot.
